Julianne and I, ready to embark on our 16
hour flight to Narita, Japan |
Julianne and I made it to Manila trouble-free! We departed Tampa at 9am, flew to Washington D.C. for a 16 hour flight to Narita Japan, then a 4 1/2 hour flight to Manila. We arrived at 10 p.m. on Saturday night. Because it is the Christmas season, customs was very busy. More than I have ever seen on my prior trips here.

Sunday morning we rode up to the Hilltop where the Center for Biblical Studies Institute and Seminary is located. The Hilltop also hosts a church that serves the local community. This Sunday the children sang some Christmas songs and I preached.

Later in the afternoon, there was a children's activity for the Christmas season. In the states sometimes we complain when people put out Christmas decorations too early. In the Philippines, the Christmas season begins about September and continues through the first of the year.
